CRISCO SPICE LAYER CAKE

Measure into mixing bowl:
2 cups cake flour (sifted before measuring)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Crisco vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup milk

Stir vigorously by hand or with mixer (medium speed) 2 minutes.

Now stir in (yes, all by itself):
2 teaspoons baking powder*

Now add:
2 eggs (unbeaten)
1/3 cup milk

Blend by hand or in mixer (medium speed) for 2 minutes. The batter will be smooth and thin. Pour into two 9-inch layer pans (1 1/2-inch deep) which have been rubbed with Crisco and lined with waxed paper.

Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees F) 20-25 minutes.

*Double-action or phosphate type baking powder (Calumet, Davis, Clabber Girl, Rumford, KC, etc.). With tartrate type (Royal, etc.) use 4 1/2 teaspoons.

Makes 2 (9-inch) layers
